Well after getting mythtv running....things don't seem to be going well. Mythtv works fine in kubuntu but not in lmce. Also I noticed that the kde desktop appears before lmce on startup. So it looks like I'll have to wait until this issue is cleared up before I spend anymore time on lmce.

on 0810 beta 1 mythtv was working fine. after new install to beta 2, mythtv i can not make it work like it should. another problem that bothers me is the lack of subtitle support. as reported in other posts, it worked on 0710. why does it not work with 0810? maybe i shall stop spending time until it's more mature...... i really like lmce, but withou subtitle support, it's getting hard.

I just finished a new install as well and got the ksmserver error. I talked to possy on #linuxmce and found out that the dvd install I had was beta 2 and I needed the snapshot dvd install. You can find it here and select the latest version:
